Click on Me

I wish you could post larger photos on this stupid blog.
That is it's greatest downfall, and indeed it is a great downfall.
You can always click on the picture if you'd like to see it bigger, but I know, for some, that might be asking too much.

Either way...

Commitment

This made my day.

We're off to The Clubhouse for lunch.
Hopefully I get back soon so I can meet up w James and Mike for a showing of Inglorious Basterds. I'm a big fan of Tarantino.

Penelope [Penny]

She's already got a nickname.
I was a little unsure when I first got her, but I'm realizing now that I couldn't be happier that she's mine. When I'm shooting with her, I'm in this completely different zone, and I've gotten better. I'm not only talking about working with her, but also becoming a better photographer as a whole. She makes me take my time and consider everything in the shot. She's square and keeps the format simple for me like that.
I love it.

Maggiano's

I took mom, along with my little brother, to Maggiano's this past weekend for her 42nd birthday. This was our fantastic dessert.

I really do mean fantastic, and that means a lot coming from me since I'm not a dessert person.

Observatory Love II

I'll see you around, Anuar

Man...
Another school year gone by, and another couple of students I may never see again have moved on. This year is a little different.
My first year working at Mayfair was rad. I picked up the coolest little side kick named John. He had the stature of a 7 year old and the voice of a lion. He had all the cutest girls on campus looking for him and greeting him at all times and he was just tons of fun to work with. He left, and it was a drag, but it was only one year we had together.
Last year, I lost Alex and that was a drag too. I loved working with him, having to wake him up each and every morning as he was nodding off, and giving him a hard time about being such a neat freak. He was awesome and I'll miss him for sure.
This year? Jesus...
This is my buddy Anuar, going three years strong. Like every person, special needs or not, he had his days of being a real hassle and boy he knew how to work it. This guy, man... this guy. This was like my freakin BUDDY!!
lol.. I'm like really getting bummed out about not getting to work with this guy anymore. He helped me out so much and I swear, I'd hang out with this kid if I could in my free time because he's just one of those kids that sucks you right in and you just have to love him. He's a total goofball and fellow poke'mon trainer. He's a guys guy... eatin' hot chile peppers to impress the other guys at the table and always down to wrestle and get into all kinds of horseplay. He's Harry Potter, Zorro AND the incredible hulk.

He's Anuar... He's my pal.
I hope to see him around.
We had a hell of a lot of fun.
I love ya, dude. ;]
